Combine table and compare

Hi  everyone 

 

I want to use table 1 and table 2 - merge and compare with main file whilst generating a new main table with all the changes that are in the table 1 and table 2- and replacing the main table with the new generated file

This is a classic Join problem! Join the Main to the first, then the output of those to the second, and Union the outputs together. Something along these lines:

Main ---->Join--->Union---> Join----> Union

Table 1--^                               ^

Table 2-----------------------------^

 

If you want direct help, please provide us with the data so we don't have to type it from scratch!

If you could provide a sample input and output, we may take a closer look with some sample flow.

Hi @Zan_1 ,

 

What is the common unique key of the tables?

[Batch] or [Batch] + [Student Id] ?

 

Batch '1333' is updated from [Student Id] as '3333' to '1111'. So it seems the key is just [Batch].

But if you look at Batch '9999', a new record ([Student Id] as '5555') is added while the Batch No already exist in the original table.

Hi 

 

The unique key is batch- I have attached the excel file of the table for the flow

 

Batch has to mirror as the main file and add any additional batch numbers from the other two files - rest of the table columns should be from file 2 and 3 and if there is empty cell then it should output "N"
